Americans with protected pre-existing conditions ?

As many as 133 million Americans — roughly half the population. Has an existing medical condition includes such common ailments as high blood pressure or asthma, any of which could require those buying insurance on their own to pay much more for a policy, if they could get one at all.

The coronavirus, which has infected nearly seven million Americans to date and may have long-term health implications for many of those who become ill, could also become one of the many medical histories that would make it challenging for someone to find insurance. Trump lied when he said he would protect existing conditions. Took the case to the Supreme court to get rid of it & the whole ACA. Court will decide Nov 10th.

Update:

@ check out..Even people who live healthier are susceptible to disease or a life threatening accident. also,  Genetics, also plays a part, like diabetes, or an anomaly that needs correction for a newborn, that is also an existing condition. You, obviously have no capacity to think it through, more Republican idiocy.

    Republicans think they’re immune from disease or breaking bones. Insurance companies even considered having a child to be a pre-existing condition before the ACA. America is the only country in the world with such a bloodthirsty healthcare system. It needs to change.

    This a list of just a few of the Obamacare protections..Requires insurance plans to cover people with pre-existing health conditions, including pregnancy, without charging more

    Provides free preventive care

    Gives young adults more coverage options

    Ends lifetime and yearly dollar limits on coverage of essential health benefits

    Helps you understand the coverage you’re getting

    Holds insurance companies accountable for rate increases

    Makes it illegal for health insurance companies to cancel your health insurance just because you get sick

    Protects your choice of doctors

    Protects you from employer retaliation. There is more..Families can keep their kids on the family policy until age 26, The doughnut hole in RX is shrinking & and going away. If this goes away & Cons save "pre-existing condition protection through reg healthcare, it will cost a fortune, because they can do it.
